On November 4, California's Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) ordered cryptocurrency ATM operator Coinflip to compensate fraud victims with over $4.8 million and pay an additional $350,000 in unlawfully collected excessive fees. The order affects approximately 500 devices operating in the state. The DFPI found that since 2021, Coinflip failed to implement adequate customer identification, detect suspicious activity, and provide required disclosures. Scammers impersonated trusted institutions to deceive victims into withdrawing cash at ATMs and transferring funds through Coinflip devices to fraudster wallets, with elderly individuals particularly targeted.
